A fugitive apprehension team made contact with someone who confirmed Boni’s location. Boni was taken into custody after a brief standoff on charges of Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer and 2nd Degree Escape. A second person, 36 year-old Robin Rockwood was arrested for Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer. The third person, 27 year-old Brandon Dubois jumped from a window on the second floor of the building as police closed in. He was arrested on unrelated warrants.
